Joe Wilson: Wife Divulged CIA Secret on Fourth Date

Bush administration Uraniumgate accuser Joe Wilson defended his wife Valerie Plame on Sunday for blowing her CIA cover during what he described as "a heavy make out session" shortly after the couple first met in the 1990s.
"Well, I had all the requisite security clearances and, in fact, there is some personal discretion that is allowed when you are in personal relationships," Wilson told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg.
Malzberg had asked about Wilson's admission to Vanity Fair in January that his wife revealed her CIA indentity in a moment of heated passion on their third or fourth date:
The magazine reported:
"Meeting in Paris, London and Brussels, [the relationship between Plame and Wilson] got very serious, very quickly. On the third or fourth date, he says, they were in the middle of a 'heavy make-out' session when she said she had something to tell him."
At that point Wilson told VF that his undercover enamorata interrupted their tryst and came clean.
"She was, she explained, undercover in the CIA," VF said. Wilson told the magazine that the revelation "did nothing to dampen my ardour. My only question was: Is your name really Valerie?"
The Bush accuser, whose new book "The Politics of Truth" details his outrage over having his wife outed by the White House, was less forthcoming about a report claiming that as early as 1994 her cover had been blown, forcing the CIA to return her to the U.S.
"I won't talk about anything related to her career, other than to point out to you that the CIA tells Justice Department investigators that she's covered by the Intelligence Identities Protection Act," Wilson told Malzberg.
In October, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof reported: "The C.I.A. suspected that [master spy] Aldrich Ames had given Mrs. Wilson's name [along with those of other spies] to the Russians before his espionage arrest in 1994."
At the time, Kristof noted, Wilson's wife was brought home for safety reasons and "was already in transition away from undercover work to management."

That is pure BRAVO SIERRA. My wife has clearance and she does not tell me what she does at work.

My oldest daughter has a top secret security clearance, and even if I had one, unless I was working in her department, she is not allowed to tell me anything about her work. "Need to know" only. Daaaadddiiiie! You blew my cover!

"Well, I had all the requisite security clearances and, in fact, there is some personal discretion that is allowed when you are in personal relationships," I've held security clearances as high as Mr. Wilson and I find his statement to be absolutely wrong. He's a lying POS.

I wonder if there were similar revelations between Wilson and his second wife Jacqueline...
And why were they dining with Saddam's chief buyer for French arms on the eve of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait?
Hmm

And how did she know that Joe the Weasel wasn't a double agent...

With Wilson that could be considered torture. Threatening make-out session with Joe Wilson is forbidden according to the Geneva Convention

Bravo Sierra to that, at least 30+ years ago. When I was in I had a top secret Crypto clearance. We were told pointedly, tell NO ONE what you are doing. When I exited the Navy, I had to sign a document that obligated me for another 10 years. I'm still reluctant to talk about stuff involving Security.

I wonder if Wilson reported this violation to his superiors. I believe there may be a requirement of an agent to do this if another agent blows their cover.

This guy just can't keep his mouth shut. He has to tell everything to everybody.
You know, I looked up "blithering" to check its meaning. It's believed to be a combination of "blathering" and "dithering," which makes it the perfect descriptor for Wilson-- a yapping do-nothing (of significance).
